Rule Example

+(+) Two like signs become a positive sign 3+(+2) = 3 + 2 = 5

−(−) 6−(−3) = 6 + 3 = 9

+(−) Two unlike signs become a negative sign 7+(−2) = 7 − 2 = 5

−(+) 8−(+2) = 8 − 2 = 6

When you add two positives it’s a positive
When you add a positive and negative it’s either depending on each number
When you add two negatives the answer will be negative -3+(-4)=-7

jekas [21]

Answer:

The test statistic is z = 1.865.

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

H0: p = 0.11

This means that 0.11 is tested at the null hypothesis, and so:

$\mu = 0.11$

$\sigma = \sqrt{0.11*0.89} = 0.3129$

The engineer weighs 94 bags and finds that 16 of them are over-filled.

This means that:

$n = 94, X = \frac{16}{94} = 0.1702$

What is the test statistic?

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.1702 - 0.11}{\frac{0.3129}{\sqrt{94}}}$

$z = 1.865$

The test statistic is z = 1.865.

Can someone help me with this question.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A function means that a graph cannot have repeating x values, so to test if something is a function we do the horizontal line test. You simply draw a vertical line and if the graph touches it twice it is not a function.

Answer:

49 = 0 +9.8t
t = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

It usually works to follow directions.

a) Substitute the numbers into the formula:

v = u + at

49 = 0 +9.8t

b) Solve the equation:

49/9.8 = t = 5 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval: (31.32%,47.04%)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 148

Number of people who sleep for 8 hours or longer, x = 58

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{58}{148} = 0.3918$

95% Confidence interval:

$\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96$

Putting the values, we get:

$0.3918\pm 1.96(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3918(1-0.3918)}{148}})\\\\ = 0.3918\pm 0.0786\\\\=(0.3132,0.4704)=(31.32\%,47.04\%)$

(31.32%,47.04%) is the required 95% confidence interval.
